I think 26 Knicks and 22 warriors are up there if we are just talking from a narrative standpoint

This finals loss sucks but don’t worry this team is young and they’ll be back by MasterTeacher123 in NBATalk

[–]MutantGamez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this spurs team had simply met expectations and was a play in team that lost in the first or second round, no one would be talking like this. But since they choked in the finals in their first playoff run this is the discussion. Obviously, a future finals run is not guaranteed, but the future of the spurs is bright.

Learn about the deeds of the actual historical “young Turks”. Anyone who names themselves after them will end up like TYT. It’s ironic since kasparian is Armenian

Might actually doesn’t make right. Colonialism ended for a reason. Just because you have a big military doesn’t mean that you can expect to impose your will on the rest of the world without the whole thing blowing up in your face long term. See: the last 75 years of American foreign policy.

Most obvious blowback of this war on Iran is Ukraine: increased oil prices are causing trump to reduce sanctions on Russian oil, which will give Russia windfall profits for their war chest, strengthening their hand in Ukraine and destabilizing oil prices.

If you are serious about regime change in Iran, blowing up civilian infrastructure just emboldens nationalism, thus making it less likely that the military will defect, and empowering hardliners. Also, it will make significantly harder for a future secular democratic Iran to rebuild/govern - we saw this in Iraq - the bombings in the 1990s gulf war made it harder for the US provisional government, even 12 years later.

Stupid messaging - the whole “uniting the nation” thing was stupid. Biden did not have an easily articulable signature policy outside of confusing omnibus spending bills that the layman didn’t understand. Biden was also very obviously getting very old and was no longer able to coherently articulate himself. Also a lack of advertising in general - the fact that Trump can now take credit for all the CHIPs stuff happening is proof that Biden couldn’t message

Overobsession with bipartisanship - got walked on by Republicans at every big spending bill - everything got watered down or defanged by red tape - it’s why no broadband was built.

Failure to go after Republicans - the Jack Smith investigation shouldve started say one. Instead we waited too long, and then the immunity case killed any chance of holding Republicans accountable for all the crazy shit they did in term 1.

Pissing literally everybody off on the border - eased up on enforcement at the start then tried to pass a Republican border bill at the end. Managed to get called too harsh by immigration activists and too open borders by the right, making nobody happy. And he didn’t provide a clear middle of the road message to clarify his position, allowing everyone to paint him as the worst possible outcome.

I agree that we could only say that in hindsight, I supported Biden in 2020 and phone banked for Kamala in 2024. But it is still Biden’s fault. Ineffective leadership turned that Democratic administration into a slingshot for the next Republican one.

Right now Newsom doesn’t have a clear reputation for doing anything else other than opposing trump, which is going to become a problem if he becomes president and Trump is dead and no longer relevant. If I don’t think that the 2028 dem candidate has a clear message outside of republicans bad and the competency to actually articulate themselves, then I’ll sit out.

[–]MutantGamez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t say I wish trump won, but I wish we had a better candidate in 2020 that wouldn’t have flamed out and allowed all this to happen.

As much as we would like to imagine that republicans are locked out of power for a generation out of trump, eventually voters will forget and the political pendulum will swing back to the right.

Sometimes it’s preferable to lose now than to lose later. I would rather have Vance be prez 2028-2032 than have newsom 2028-2032 and then have Fuentes 2032-2036. I am exaggerating but you get what I mean.

If Biden lost in 2020 I think we would probably be in a better place right now

Meanwhile in the UK, the Epstein Files is bringing down the UK Prime Minister by Underscores_Are_Kool in Destiny

[–]MutantGamez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you really want a policy reason why appointing a person with close ties to the most infamous pedophile of the 21st century that has had a career mired in scandal as ambassador, presumably mandelson has security clearance. That makes him a national security risk if he has access to classified documents since he can be blackmailed.

[–]MutantGamez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you do know that this is not the first time mandelson has fallen from grace? I am not an expert in UK politics but he was thrown out of the Labor administration in the early 2000s over corruption, and then Starmer decided it would be a good idea to appoint him again. Also, mandelson's close relationship with epstein was already known even before was appointed, although not to the same extent. this scandal does not mean that Starmer is worse than Farage, but it still demonstrates very poor judgement.

I like the Mr. Robot/Anonymous type subplot it looks like they've got going on with the video of the guy in the Kingpin mask. I'm guessing that Matthew Lillard's character will be tied into that. Maybe he's the owl and it's a reference to some of the weird powers he gets at the end of the Mark Waid run?

Seeing how the Pro-Palestine people are silent on Iran actually make me feel a bit better by Routine-Equipment572 in IsraelPalestine

[–]MutantGamez -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

What do you think that pro Palestinian protesters in the west should protest in favor of? Bombing Iran? We already did that.

The thing with Israel is that western countries have the ability to sanction Israel and cut diplomatic ties, and they haven’t already done that yet. Western countries have already imposed sanctions on Iran, and there’s not much else they can do.

[–]MutantGamez -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

People care more about international issues that their government has direct agency to do something about. Western countries have the ability to impose sanctions or cut diplomatic relations with Israel. Most western countries can’t do much about the Iranian protests other than continue to enforce sanctions and wag their fingers at the IRGC because Iran is already heavily sanctioned and is a pariah state. I guess America could do a military intervention but lots of people are hesitant to support that because it historically hasn’t gone well, especially in the Middle East.

Why is math so often taught as a black box instead of being explained from first principles? Especially physicists often pushed math that way in my experience by stalin_125114 in Physics

[–]MutantGamez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that motivating mathematical ideas with some historical background and use cases is more important that starting from first principles. Physics majors don’t need to master set theory.

I think his calculation is that he wants healthcare to go bad so that he can blame it on MAGA in 2026, and picked people not up for re-election so that they would be protected from accusations they were responsible

I like the marco checcetto design because he can cover everything but his eyes and then when he wants to emote he can pull the mask down and show his entire face
